Have you waited for a while after you power off/on for the cooling light to stop flashing and then check what the reading is for F3?
I use several of these and they all have the same feature......
Usually the cooling function will turn on again at its user-set temp after the max 9 min delay, after a power failure, to prevent overloading
the compressor in case something/someone repeatedly turns the power on/off and the fridge is forced to start/stop without a suitable delay
This is how my 4 STC's work

I suspected that this could be the case and did wait for a period longer than 10 minutes (used a stop watch and everything). The cooling light continued to flash away. Perhaps I'll leave it for longer and see.
So would you expect after a power failure that the cooling delay is initiated for the maximum set time, regardless of what you had the F3 value set to prior to the power failure?
Note that this happens only when the power is removed. Turning the device on and off via the button does not cause this to happen.
Thanks
